FAQ's

Frequently Asked Questions.

Who has the rights to any work I submit?

The Answer to this question is simple. You. You own all the rights to any work that is published in either the digital format, in print or both. We as practicing artists and writers believe in artists maintaining the rights to their own work. By submitting your work you are allowing us to print you work.

What kind of things can I submit?

Since the inception of Annotation we have always believed that we will take any form of work as long as it can be printed. We will take academic papers, philosophical musings, reviews, stories, pictures, photographs, paintings. You name it, we take it. The only thing that we ask is that you try to link it to one of the monthly themes listed on the submissions page (no matter how tenuous).

Is there any pay or reward for having work published?

This is where it may get complicated. As well as having your work published and publicised you will get:

For being published in the digital format, you receive one years worth of digital editions.

For being published in the print format you receive one years worth of digital and print editions.

In addition to this we also provide each person published a free advertising space to advertise anything they wish it can be their own work, a friends, a charity, anything.

There will as be a dividend system in place which will run per edition. If you are published you may receive a payout based on the amount of that particular editions sales after the running costs are taken into consideration. This goes for both the digital and print sales. This system has yet to be finalised (payment types, percentages etc ...) but we will be as transparent as a super transparent thing. We want to promote new and old talent and see that it is done in a fair way.

Who decides which pieces of work go into each edition?

The quick answer to this is the editors. We have two main editors whose specialisms are fiction, art history, African art and culture, theology, philosophy, and general history. We also have access to several guest editors who have a wide range of knowledge from chemistry to Japanese. If We feel that work needs further appraisal, especially if it is way out of our fields, then we will ask one of these guest editors their thoughts and take them into consideration.

When are the closing dates for each edition?

The dates for the final submissions for the digital editions are two weeks before the end of the month prior to the publication. ​. This said we will attempt to be fairly fluid with the dates as deadlines are always somewhat of a bummer.
